The liquid cooling system further comprises a second temperature sensor 50, wherein the second temperature sensor 50 is used for detecting the temperature of the external environment; the control device is in signal connection with the second temperature sensor 50 and is further used for controlling the refrigeration cycle of the compressor to run and closing the refrigeration cycle of the natural cold source when the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 50 is greater than a second set value; when the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 50 is less than a third set value, controlling the natural cold source refrigeration cycle to run, and closing the compressor refrigeration cycle; and when the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 50 is greater than the third set value and less than the second set value, controlling the compressor refrigeration cycle and the natural cold source refrigeration cycle to run simultaneously.
Specifically, the compressor refrigeration cycle includes the cold side of the heat exchanger 30, the compressor 11, the condenser 12, and the expansion valve 13, which are connected in sequence, wherein the refrigerant and the cooling liquid in the cabinet 21 are subjected to heat exchange in the heat exchanger 30, the refrigerant after absorbing heat is changed from a liquid state to a gas state, the gas refrigerant enters the compressor 11 along a pipeline, and is compressed by the compressor 11 to be changed into a high-pressure high-temperature gas refrigerant, the high-pressure high-temperature gas refrigerant releases heat in the condenser 12, and is changed from a gas state to a liquid state to form a high-pressure low-temperature liquid refrigerant, and the high-pressure low-temperature liquid refrigerant is changed into a low-temperature low-pressure liquid refrigerant to return. The natural cold source refrigeration cycle comprises a cold side of a heat exchanger 30, a condenser 12 and a refrigerant pump 14 which are connected in sequence, wherein the refrigerant and cooling liquid are subjected to heat exchange in the heat exchanger 30, the refrigerant after absorbing heat is changed into a gas state from a liquid state, the gas refrigerant enters the condenser 12 along a pipeline and is subjected to heat exchange with outdoor low-temperature air in the condenser 12 to be changed into a liquid refrigerant, and the liquid refrigerant enters the heat exchanger 30 again under the action of the refrigerant pump 14 to complete a refrigeration cycle.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the refrigerant pump 14 is connected in parallel to the expansion valve 13 and then connected in series to the condenser 12 and the cold side of the heat exchanger 30, the primary-side cooling system 10 further includes an electromagnetic valve connected in parallel to the compressor 11, and the electromagnetic valve is connected in parallel to the compressor 11 and then connected in series to the condenser 12 and the cold side of the heat exchanger 30. The control device is respectively in signal connection with the compressor 11, the condenser 12, the expansion valve 13, the refrigerant pump 14 and the electromagnetic valve, and switching between the compressor refrigeration cycle and the natural cold source refrigeration cycle can be realized by controlling the opening and closing of related components, wherein the compressor refrigeration cycle and the natural cold source refrigeration cycle share one condenser 12 and a main pipeline. With continuing reference to fig. 1 and 3, the primary-side cooling system further includes a liquid storage tank 15 disposed on the main pipeline between the condenser 12 and the expansion valve 13, and the control device is specifically configured to, when controlling the primary-side cooling system 10 to switch from the natural cold source refrigeration cycle to the compressor refrigeration cycle, first control the refrigerant pump 14 to be turned off, and keep the condenser 12 running, and store the refrigerant passing through the condenser 12 into the liquid storage tank 15; after the condenser 12 is operated for a set time, the solenoid valve is closed, and the compressor 11 and the expansion valve 13 are opened. This is because when the primary-side cooling system 10 operates in the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode, the flow rate of the refrigerant in the pipe is greater than that of the compressor refrigeration cycle, and therefore, when the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode is switched to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode, the compressor 11 can be normally operated by storing the redundant refrigerant in the pipe in the liquid storage tank 15.
In one particular embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the solenoid valve (designated as the first solenoid valve 16) connected in parallel with the compressor 11 is a check valve that allows refrigerant to flow only along the line from the heat exchanger 30 to the condenser 12, but not in the reverse direction, thereby preventing refrigerant migration into the heat exchanger 30 during a shutdown condition. Besides the first solenoid valve 16, the cooling system further comprises a second solenoid valve 17 connected in series with the branch of the compressor 11 and a third solenoid valve 18 connected in series with the branch of the refrigerant pump 14, wherein the second solenoid valve 17 and the third solenoid valve 18 have a cutoff function on a pipeline and are respectively in signal connection with a control device. When the temperature of the cooling liquid detected by the first temperature sensor 40 is greater than a first set value and the temperature of the external environment detected by the second temperature sensor 50 is less than a third set value, the control device controls the first solenoid valve 16, the condenser 12, the refrigerant pump 14 and the third solenoid valve 18 to be opened, and controls the second solenoid valve 17, the compressor 11 and the expansion valve 13 to be closed, at this time, the external environment is enough to cool the refrigerant in the condenser 12, and the control device controls the primary side cooling system to operate in the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode; when the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 40 is greater than the first set value and the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 50 is greater than the second set value, the control device controls the third electromagnetic valve 18 and the refrigerant pump 14 to close, keeps the condenser 12 running, stores the refrigerant passing through the condenser 12 into the liquid storage tank 15, controls the first electromagnetic valve 16 to close after the condenser 12 runs for a set time, and controls the second electromagnetic valve 17, the compressor 11 and the expansion valve 13 to open, at this time, because the external environment temperature is high, the external environment is not enough to cool the refrigerant in the condenser 12, the natural cold source cooling effect is poor, the control device switches the primary side cooling system to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode to run, so as to ensure good cooling effect, and the corresponding control flow is shown in fig. 2.
In the above embodiment, the liquid reservoir 15 includes a tank body, and a first pipe and a second pipe communicating with the tank body, the first pipe being located above the liquid level and communicating with the outlet of the condenser 12, and the second pipe being located below the liquid level and communicating with the refrigerant pump 14 and the expansion valve 13. When the primary side cooling system operates in a natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode, the liquid storage tank 15 can perform a gas-liquid separation function, so that all the refrigerant sucked by the refrigerant pump 14 is liquid refrigerant, and the refrigerant pump 14 is prevented from being damaged by gaseous refrigerant; when the primary side cooling system is switched from the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode for operation, the liquid storage tank 15 can store redundant refrigerant in the pipeline to ensure the normal operation of the compressor 11, and the specific principle is as follows: when the cooling system operates in the compressor refrigeration mode, the refrigerant can reach a lower temperature, according to the condition that Q is equal to cm Δ T (Q is the refrigeration capacity, c is the specific heat, m is the mass flow, and Δ T is the temperature difference between the cold source and the heat source), and Q and c are basically unchanged in the two refrigeration modes, when the temperature difference Δ T is increased, m is reduced, therefore, when the primary side cooling system is switched from the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode, too much refrigerant is left in the pipeline, for the too much refrigerant in the pipeline, the compressor 11 is easy to cause high-pressure protection and cannot normally operate, and more serious, the liquid refrigerant can enter the compressor 11 because the liquid refrigerant cannot be completely evaporated in the heat exchanger 30, thereby causing liquid impact damage to the compressor 11, which requires that when the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode is switched to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode, the amount of the refrigerant flowing in the pipe needs to be reduced, and the receiver 15 is provided to store the refrigerant, that is, when the cooling system is switched from the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode, the refrigerant pump 14 and the third solenoid valve 18 are closed, the condenser 12 is kept running, the refrigerant continues absorbing heat in the heat exchanger 30 and changes from liquid to gas, the gas refrigerant flows to the condenser 12 along the pipe, the gas refrigerant changes from gas to liquid after releasing heat in the condenser 12 and is stored in the receiver 15, after the condenser 12 runs for a while, a part of the refrigerant is stored in the receiver 15, the first solenoid valve 16 is closed, the second solenoid valve 17, the compressor 11 and the expansion valve 13 are opened, the primary side cooling system is switched to the compressor refrigeration cycle mode to run, the time during which the condenser 12 is kept running when switching between these two modes can be set according to the actual circumstances.
In another specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, different refrigeration cycle pipelines are respectively adopted for the compressor refrigeration cycle and the natural cold source refrigeration cycle, a condenser 12 in the compressor refrigeration cycle is denoted as a first condenser 12a, a condenser 12 in the natural cold source refrigeration cycle is a second condenser 12b, and the first condenser 12a and the second condenser 12b are different condensers. Further, a gas-liquid separator 19 is arranged between the cold side of the heat exchanger 30 and the compressor 11 to ensure that the refrigerant entering the compressor 11 is gaseous refrigerant; a liquid storage tank 15 is arranged between the second condenser 12b and the refrigerant pump 14, so as to ensure that the refrigerant pumped by the refrigerant pump 14 is liquid.
The embodiment can meet the requirement of independent operation of a refrigeration cycle mode of the compressor and a refrigeration cycle mode of a natural cold source, and can also meet the requirement of mixed mode operation.
The scheme can utilize a natural cold source for a longer time all the year around, the energy efficiency can be further improved, and the specific implementation mode is as follows:
when T1 is larger than a second set value (the value range of the second set value is 25-35 ℃), the temperature difference between the internal cold source and the external cold source is not enough to meet the heat quantity to be transferred by heat exchange, at the moment, the refrigeration mode of the compressor 11 is started, and the refrigerant pump 14 is closed;
when the third set value < T1 is not less than the second set value, the compressor 11 and the refrigerant pump 14 are simultaneously started in the mixed mode, the circulation of the refrigerant pump 14 is taken as the main part, and the refrigeration of the compressor 11 is taken as the auxiliary part;
when T1 is less than or equal to the third setting value, the outdoor environment temperature is low, the temperature difference between the cold source and the heat source is enough to meet the heat quantity to be transferred by heat exchange, at this time, the compressor 11 is closed to refrigerate, and the cooling liquid pump 22 is started.
In the systems shown in fig. 1 and 4, the heat exchanger 30 performs heat exchange between the primary cooling system 10 and the secondary cooling system 20, and the heat exchanger 30 may be a dividing wall type heat exchanger, in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, a coil 60 may be disposed in the cabinet 21, two ends of the coil 60 extend out of the cabinet and are respectively communicated with the refrigeration cycle pipelines in the primary cooling system 10, and when flowing through the coil 60, the refrigerant directly performs heat exchange with the cooling liquid in the cabinet 21 to take away heat of the cooling liquid, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
As can be seen from the above description, the primary side cooling system provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be switched between the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode and the compressor refrigeration cycle mode, and when the external environment temperature is low, the natural cold source refrigeration cycle mode is adopted to operate to reduce energy consumption, and when the external environment temperature is high, the compressor refrigeration cycle mode is adopted to operate to ensure a cooling effect; meanwhile, in the secondary side cooling system, PID adjustment is carried out on the rotating speed of the cooling liquid pump, the temperature of the cooling liquid can be accurately controlled, and the stability of the system is improved.
